Parental Controls


Introduction

mydesi is an adults-only website that is strictly intended for users who are of legal age in their jurisdiction. We have implemented various measures to prevent minors from accessing adult material. However, we highly recommend that parents and guardians implement their own protective tools, including parental controls, to ensure the safety of their children while using the internet.

Our Commitment to Child Protection

We have a zero-tolerance policy for any pornographic material involving minors, as well as any content related to pedophiles or pedophilic activity. We collaborate with trusted organizations such as:

  • ASACP – A non-profit organization dedicated to online child protection.
  • Revenge Porn Helpline – A UK-based service that supports adults affected by intimate image abuse.
Important Note:
As a parent, you play a crucial role in keeping your children safe online. You are the most effective gatekeeper in limiting their access to harmful material.

Tools to Protect Children from Adult Content

1. Safe Search Mode in Search Engines

SafeSearch is a feature available in major search engines that helps block adult content in search results. We recommend you enable SafeSearch on the devices of all minors in your care:

  • Google Safe Search: Can be activated for personal accounts, children’s devices via Family Link, and school/workplace devices.
  • Yahoo SafeSearch: Blocks explicit content from Yahoo search results.
  • Microsoft SafeSearch: Available for Bing search results.
  • Yandex Family Search: Excludes unwanted content from search results.

Additionally, using child-specific search engines such as Kiddle, KidRex, WackySafe, and Kido’z can help kids find appropriate content without landing on unsafe websites.

2. Activating Built-in Parental Controls on Operating Systems

Every major operating system comes with built-in parental control settings that can restrict access to age-restricted material. These settings can be applied to devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers:

3. Dedicated Parental Control Software

For stronger control, you can install dedicated parental control software on your devices. Here are some popular solutions:

  • Qustodio
  • Net Nanny
  • Norton Family
  • Mobicip
  • SentryPC
  • Bark
